Overview
- Samsung sold out its initial domestic stock on launch day, with queues at Seoul stores and estimates of 2,000–3,000 units for Korea and roughly 20,000 globally.
- The phone is priced at KRW 3,590,400 (about $2,430) in Korea, with rising DRAM costs and high components cited as pressures on profit.
- A GSMArena poll found the tri-fold form factor surprisingly popular, topping interest in the Galaxy Z Fold7 despite concerns about price.
- Key hardware includes a 6.5-inch cover display, a 10-inch inner screen, an inward-folding G-shaped design that reaches 3.9mm at its thinnest point, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.
- Reviewers highlight software and feature trade-offs such as DeX not defaulting on unfold, launcher limitations, no S Pen support, and no option to use only a portion of the inner display.
